Easily found if you google it.
I know Panini has been so far behind for a while now, but one would think Hoops and/or Donruss would be achievable by the expiration (unless the contract spells out 2024-25 year cards as the end, but that those can be produced through October).
I am not a huge fan of Panini - they are OK - but I would have loved to see Topps back in the game if it wasn’t simply a Fanatics label as it is today.

It is worth noting that ‘Hoops’ is not a Panini brand, it is owned by the NBA and they then license it out to a card conpany to produce the cards. Originally, it was Skybox, then Fleer when they merged with Skybox and more recently Panini. So there is every possibility the NBA will give Fanatics the opportunity to produce it when they become the sole licensee.
